Some of you may have already seen Namco's new poster of Soul Calibur V showing nothing about the game but Ivy's huge breasts. Is this type of marketing pure genius or is it damaging the video game industry's image from the public eye?
Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."
This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.
Bandai Namco's other premier fighting game series, Soulcalibur, has been around for over 25 years, but what game is the best?
Really loved Soulcalibur on Dreamcast. Truly blew all competition away back then when it came to graphics and fluidity, and I liked the roster and arenas.
Haven’t bothered with the newest release because sadly fighting games these days have become too expensive. They’ll release a base-game, then add all the interesting characters through expensive season passes, so unless there’s a Complete Edition released (and if I’m still interested in the game by then), I’m better off just shrugging my shoulders and skipping it completely.
The direction the fighting game genre has picked for itself means it will now only appeal and sell to the hardcore fans of the genre, while the mainstream gamers will spend their money elsewhere.
I prefer SC VI to the SC III. SC II had a really fast pace for a fighting game, when new SC III bursted into the scene it felt sluggish when compared to the second one. On SC VI they brought back the quicker pace of the game, but not as much on SC II, though I think it was a good decision. I wish they would go the MK11 route with their games, but we all know that Bandai Namco is not interested, they hardly gave the devs time and money to support SC VI.
KeenGamer: ''Fighting games have had a long history of wild and iconic characters. But for every Scorpion and Chun-Li, there are groups of Bo Rai Cho's and Lizardmen. This list takes a look at five of the worst fighting game characters to ever exist."
Both... I mean shameless as it is.... it works.
OH MY GOD!!! Why is everyone acting so brand new? Or rather, why are breast, big beautiful breast such a big deal. Taki has been there from the beginning and she had a skin tight suit with glorious knockers and no one batted an eye. Now suddenly tig ol bitties are a problem. In case no one has realized some women have large funbags. Deal with it.
These boobs look fake, and that is fail.
Never found Ivy "hot", thought the other girls with natural features are much nicer looking in the game.
How do you think Uncharted would have gone over if Chloe or Elana had over-sized breasts? It would have been a huge issue.
That being said, one can't be too hard on the devs when the people buying the games have made it clear who their favorite characters are, and Ivy is an internet legend.
Some games are just a classier I guess. Fighting games don't take themselves seriously, clearly.
That's not a bad thing.
People "shocked" by this advert haven't been playing fighters for long enough.
